    The Fall's second season continues where the first left off with detective Gibson (Gillian Anderson) still on the hunt for serial killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dorman). Avoiding all the usual clichés associated with the genre it makes for a fascinating and tense watch throughout and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

    This show is unapologetically feminist, but it still manages to be compelling and draw in the viewer. The final episode was electrifying, and the show poses a lot of questions about morality, darkness and addiction.

    Frankly put, [Jamie Dornan's Spector is] boring, and not in the fascinating way the show itself can be in its aforementioned moments.... Luckily, Anderson is there to save him, both as an ideal to strive for--as fans will see in the season's 90-minute finale--and a redeeming grace for the show.

    The stately new season unfolds as though it has never heard the phrase “hurry up,” closely tracking a serial killer who is no longer killing, a police department that makes no mistakes, and a narrative that contains no red herrings.

    I'd say that The Fall is a deeply moral crime thriller, but that description is too boring for a drama that's electric with suspense and erotic tension and pulpy cliff-hangers. Anderson's performance is riveting.
